Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1006, devout believer
A grand sacrificial ceremony was being held on the huge pyramid of Tenochtitlan, the capital of the Aztec Kingdom, and a large number of slaves were tied together and sent to the sacrificial altar one by one.

Accompanied by the High Priest Witchlow chanting, I saw him holding a sharp obsidian dagger, raised it high, and then stabbed it into the slave's chest, took out the heart very skillfully, and put it in a white jade disk, enshrining it Go under the statue of the sun god.

Then someone took out an ax bought from Daming, and cut off the leader of the slave very neatly. Blood flowed down from the top of the pyramid and gathered into a stream.

The severed head and the body of the roof were discarded from the top of the pyramid in this way, and the huge crowd below just shouted excitedly. Someone held the net and caught the head very skillfully, strung it up with long wooden sticks and stood aside , A frightening forest of sticks was formed next to the crowd, each stick had a ferocious head on it, and many of them didn't even close their eyes.

As for the corpses, they were packed together in a four-wheeled carriage from Daming, then transported out of the city, and discarded very casually in a valley. The whole valley stinks to the sky, and there are headless corpses everywhere, densely packed, tens of thousands .

"Great Sun God, please forgive our sins, and please call back the God of Plague!"

The High Priest Wicklow was walking around crazily, while shouting loudly.

On the throne next to him, King Montezuma II sat on the throne expressionlessly, with helplessness and fear in his eyes.

The Aztecs angered the sun god, and the sun god sent down a plague. The terrible plague ravaged the earth, turning villages and towns into ruins and dead places.

Too many, too many people died.

Originally, the Aztec Kingdom had a population of several million. The capital city alone had three to four million people. It was very prosperous. However, with the raging plague, many places in the Aztec Kingdom became a dead zone. .

"Why are they all the people of the Sun God, and the Ming people are basically fine after being infected with the plague, why are we basically doomed? Is it really because we offended the Sun God?"

The young Montezuma II, who had just become king the year before last, was constantly thinking about it.

The plague raging in front of us has become uncontrollable. More and more towns have reported the discovery of the terrible plague, and even the capital city of Tenochtitlan has begun to have the terrible plague.

There was no way, even though the people of Daming asked them not to perform human sacrifices, he still had no choice but to order living sacrifices at the request of the people and priests.

"Your Majesty, High Priest~"

"The Ming Empire has sent people over, and they have mastered the way to deal with the plague."

Just when he was lost in thought, someone came to report in a hurry.

"Have they mastered the way to deal with the plague?"

When Montezuma II heard this, he couldn't help standing up immediately.

"Yes, confirmed!"

"Some time ago we sent more than a hundred people in the past. They have been treated by the Daming people, and they are no longer afraid of the plague!"

The visitor said very solemnly.

"Great!"

Upon hearing this, Wikilo immediately shouted to the huge crowd below: "People of the Sun God, the Sun God has already felt our prayers, and they sent the Daming people who are also the people of the Sun God to save us." We, the people of Ming Dynasty, have already worked out a way to deal with the plague."

"So everyone no longer needs to be afraid, and no longer needs to be afraid. Soon, we will be able to defeat the plague!"

As Witchlow's words fell, tens of thousands of people couldn't help cheering on the huge square below the pyramid, and the waves of sound became louder and louder.

In the palace of Montezuma II, a large number of items from Daming are dotted here, huge floor-to-ceiling mirrors, curtains and screens made of silk, Daming porcelain vases taller than people, and furniture made of mahogany from Nanjinzhou... …

Li Anyuan and Wu Lin looked at everything in the palace with great interest. As the exchanges between Daming and Huangjinzhou became more and more frequent, the contacts and exchanges between Daming people and descendants of Yin and Shang became more and more close.

Daming's influence on the Aztec Kingdom has penetrated into all aspects, not only everyone's favorite, but even the clothing has had a huge impact.

The upper classes of the Aztec Kingdom have begun to imitate the Ming people's dress, and no longer just use the body to hide their shame as before.

"Da Ming's envoy has come from a long way, and if I miss you, please forgive me!"

Montezuma II came with High Priest Witchlow and many nobles and ministers. When he saw Li Anyuan and Wu Lin, he seemed to see a life-saving straw.

"Meng Yi, the gold and silver you paid last year was much less than in previous years."

Wu Lin looked at Montezuma II and the others, and asked in a questioning tone.

Meng Yi is the Chinese name of Montezuma II. It is now a fashion in the Aztec Kingdom to change the Chinese surname to the Han people. Of course, not just anyone can change it. Only the nobles of the Aztec Kingdom Or only those who have obtained permission from Daming can do so.

"Xiao Wang knows, but there is no way to do it. The plague is raging, and we have lost too many people. It has seriously affected our worship of the Sun God."

Montezuma II replied in Daming dialect, which he was not yet proficient in. He also learned Daming dialect, and he also likes to read Daming books.

"It is precisely because you are not devout enough to the Sun God that the Sun God sent down plagues to punish you."

"Now the Sun God has sent us to save you again, because the Sun God knows that you have realized your mistake."

"However, in the future, you will have to pay more gold and silver to be able to completely wash away your sins, so that the Sun God will not punish you."

Wu Lin nodded in satisfaction, and then said very seriously.

To be honest, I almost believed what I said.

There is no way to deal with the people of the Aztec Kingdom. Using force is far less effective than using religious methods. When Tian Erniu conquered the Aztec Kingdom and the Inca Empire, he instilled such thoughts in them.

The effect is obviously very good.

Until now, people here firmly believe that they and the Ming people are the people of the Sun God, but their ancestors made a mistake and were exiled to the Golden Continent by the Sun God. The Daming people who have not made mistakes are inherently nobler than them.

They must serve the Ming people, so that they can wash away their sins and return to the embrace of the Sun God.

Under such propaganda, the natives here are respectful to the Daming people. Although he is a small county magistrate, he can stand tall when facing the king of the Aztec Kingdom.

It is conceivable how ordinary Ming people are treated here in the Aztec Kingdom, which is why people who come to the Golden Isle like to take concubines.

Because women in the Aztec Kingdom like to marry Ming people. Marrying Ming people can not only atone for their sins, but also enjoy a better life, become a superior Ming, and give birth to children who are also Ming. Human beings are the people favored by the sun god.

Such a policy that is beneficial to Daming has naturally been implemented all the time, and Tian Erniu has always been implementing this policy and thought.

Under this series of coquettish operations, not only can Daming obtain huge wealth from the Aztec Kingdom and the Inca Empire every year, but tens of millions of taels of silver and gold are transported back to Daming every year.

Secondly, Daming's colony construction on the Golden Continent has also changed extremely fast. Because a large number of Yin Shang descendants firmly believe in this, they are very willing to help Daming people build cities, build roads, reclaim fields, mine gold and silver, etc.

At the same time, women in the Aztec Kingdom are willing to marry Daming people, which has greatly stimulated the population growth of the Golden Continent. Any Daming man who comes to the Golden Continent basically has three wives and four concubines here. People are so happy that they don't want to think about Shu, and they don't want to go back to Daming, so they just settle down here.

You must know that there is everything here in Huangjinzhou. There are many fertile fields. As long as you cultivate them, they are all yours. People are needed everywhere. If you are willing to work, the income is not bad.

Compared with Daming, the people of Daming on the Golden Continent live a more chic life without much pressure.

"Xiao Wang knows, Xiao Wang knows, as long as the Sun God is willing to recall the God of Plague, we will definitely use more gold and silver to build bigger pyramids, which will definitely satisfy the Sun God."

When Montezuma II heard this, he hurriedly replied.

"That's fine~"

Wu Lin nodded in satisfaction.

To be honest, when he was originally dispatched to Huangjinzhou as an official, he was still very desperate. This is a barbaric land far away from Ming Dynasty, so life would definitely not be easy.

But after coming here, he discovered that the life here is actually quite good. As a little county magistrate, he is the emperor here, with plenty of oil and water, and the life is so good that he doesn't want to go back to Daming.

Li Anyuan's team arrived in Tenochtitlan and began to teach the people in the Aztec Kingdom the methods of vaccination and prevention. While inoculating, Li Anyuan's team began to continuously summarize and analyze, observing the wealthy merchants after vaccination. The condition of the descendants.

Under large-scale vaccination, Li Anyuan's team quickly collected enough data.

"Haha, we really succeeded!"

"Smallpox is no longer scary. Vaccination vaccination can really prevent smallpox very effectively. The descendants of wealthy merchants in the Golden Continent were almost certain to die after being infected with smallpox, but after vaccination, the smallpox virus has no effect on them at all. "

"Immediately write a letter back to Daming, and report the detailed situation to the imperial court and the medical school. Smallpox is no longer scary!"
